Still Mine Movie Review: | |
Offers a strong and dignified look at growing old while maintaining one's long-held convictions. Gary Goldstein-Los Angeles Times [A] pitch-perfect, deeply affecting film ... Chuck Wilson-Village Voice Still Mine is a measured but considerably moving celebration of things hand-crafted, traditional and built to last. Geoff Pevere-Globe and Mail Quietly observes a love tested by infirmity and bureaucracy, becoming all the stronger for it. Peter Howell-Toronto Star The unforced intimacy between James Cromwell and Genevieve Bujold as a senior couple in the fact-based Still Mine is rare to see in characters of any age. For actors playing a husband in his late eighties and his wife of over sixty years, it's remarkable. Michael Sragow-Orange County Register Geneviève Bujold and especially James Cromwell do much to enrich and humanize this sensitively done geezers-in-peril entry. David Noh-Film Journal International A sincere chamber work that's of a piece about the mutual love of an elderly couple. Harvey S. Karten-Compuserve Cromwell and Bujold have an easy, convincing rapport, creating a detailed emotional history for this couple that makes them seem devoted, and not mere twinkly geriatric clichés. Mike D'Angelo-The Dissolve McGowan's film doesn't want to get its hands dirty, which winds up making its portrait of cruel twilight-years realities-and the enduring power of love to see one through those difficulties-as easily digestible as its lush rural panoramas are picturesque. Nick Schager-AV Club As far as films about couples dealing with the female partner losing her mind go, Still Mine is pretty pedestrian. Andrew Schenker-Slant Magazine Proof positive that long-lived individuals possess the resilience to handle anything and everything that life throws at them. Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat-Spirituality and Practice A movingly-acted tale of undying devotion and encroaching mortality. Aaron Yap-Flicks.co.nz It's a measured, heart-felt piece...that warmly invites you to wonder over how richly symbolic the building of a house in a movie can be. Jim Schembri-3AW And while there are suggestions that it might get into darker territory, like Sarah Polley's Away From Her, this is more about how hard it can be to love someone for such a long time - and what it's like to be as stubborn as a damn mule. David 'Mad Dog' Bradley-Rip It Up A David and Goliath story of the geriatric set, Still Mine is a sentimental but thanks to James Cromwell's performance an engaging story of love, devotion and determination Andrew L. Urban-Urban Cinefile Still Mine will leave viewers with a lump in the throat and a hopeful determination to face administrative adversity with as much stoicism and grace. Chris Knight-National Post Slow and meticulously crafted, Still Mine wins points for finding the right pace to play out this story of old traditions versus new rules, youth versus decrepitude, and loving denial versus responsible acceptance.
